Trying to do the same, but as a data analyst. Now have 3 years of work experience in the field. Decided to leave in 2,5 years (jan 2026), as I want to have a solid base and also save some money beforehand. So currently working on improving my skills (mostly python skills). Around summer 2024 wanting to start my freelance business so I have then 1,5 years to earn enough money to quit my current job and leave.
Currently around step 2/3, your videos give me encouragement. Experience is definitely the hardest thing to work for but the most important. One of the hardest parts is convincing yourself and others that the traditional path of career, mortgage, stay in one place etc isn't always the right way to go!
Honestly, I'm even debating getting a VPN & Router then going anyways. I know it's not really ethical but I'm not going to allow loyalty to a company to be the reason I put my life on hold. I'm willing to risk losing my job to be entirely remote & have location independence. I might lose my job but I fully intend on being proactive an saving about $100 usd per day in savings & having 12 months of emergency savings and continuing to grow my emergency savings so that I can figure it out. I'm not staying in the USA and there isn't a company that is going to force me to do so. I'm good.
Hello there! I want to express my gratitude for the video you shared. You mentioned that your tech startup will soon be recruiting remote developers. I'm eager to learn more about the tech stacks your startup will be looking for. This will allow me to prepare and enhance my skills for potential roles at your company in the future. Your insights and feedback are highly valued. Thank you!
We use React, electron JS and Node JS with Tailwind - it's a cross platform desktop app. UI help is what we will need first (can't promise hiring will happen soon, but at some point if we get traction)
Guys, living abroad as a digital nomad is my dream, currently live in England and i need out. Ive been learning how to code for 9 months exactly ( backend, python) im doing well, i misunderstood how long it would take to learn backend i thought it was just normal front end time frame 6 months or so 😂 no, that is not the case. Backend is alot harder than frontend, like 40-50% harder i feel, which makes me feel good about myself actually as even though this wasn't my plan to take so long to learn, i feel it'll benefit me in the long run. Im so far into backend that im actually thinking, yes i can start applying for junior dev jobs soon, but maybe ill just take a few months longer and learn front end in about 3 months and ill be a full stack developer (junior) give myself the maximum opportunity to find work in well, anything lol, im also learning sql as we speak, my portfolio and resume is gonna look crazy (for a beginner) by summer 2024 please God ill be living somewhere in south America living my dream life
Freelance work: non-paying customers, taxes Office work: salary in account, no worry about taxes Customers who not pay are the biggest problem. Before taking job need to establish how they are going to pay. But that is something I am accepting.
Honestly as someone with a family and a life I don't really care about traveling the world! All I want is a better future for my family, but we all have different priorities.
I think the creating our own business route is becoming more and more the only route for many developers. Especially self taught no degree. So then you have to ask yourself if Im going to start a business is this really the business I want to start. Maybe we can use our tech skills to start a business that isnt necessarily a tech business
How can I get in touch with you? I'm a software engineer looking for remote work. I see this was in Thailand I definitely want to be a digital nomad and return back to Thailand would love to discuss what you're building.
Hey mate, really enjoyed your video, lots of great points. Currently working in data analytics and business intelligence I have 3 years experience in the industry. I want to freelance and want to live fully remote but within a specific industry which I work in (renewable energy/ climate change/ net zero carbon). The biggest barrier for me is to find the clients within the industry and also worried if I have a coding problem I can’t solve who I can talk to about it… any suggestions to break this barrier and fore fill my life goal :)
Incredibly impressive! 🤩 Despite having worked as a remote software engineer for the past four years, I discovered numerous new insights from watching this video.
remote developer sounds good but in fact it's the hardest and the worst role in the world, the problem is that the most important thing is human interactions during your day in the office, working remotely is like hold your breath under water, you are not really learning much, new things do not come into your lungs, you just use your old knowledge and the world is moving on, the price is that in 2 years your progress is much worse than the rest of the world and you have less friends and less opportunities....................
lmao co-workers as friends? Good luck with that. That's why almost everyone prefers to work from home - nobody have to socialize besides work stuff which means lesser chance that someone will throw you under the bus or will try to spread false rumors just so you wouldn't get that promotion.
I worked first 2yrs of my experience in the office. How many friends do I made? ZERO. After that I worked 3yrs remotely. How many friends do I made? Yes, you guess it right - ZERO. Because it's not the work where you make the friends. There's meetups, conferences, lots of different stuff out there
I've found in every work place , that the people who use work to find friends are usually the saddest loneliest people... which is sad. BUT the individuals who use time outside of work for friendship (school friends, college friends, friends from meetups or conferences, even friends you make from social media who are like minded) are usually happier, more ambitious and free thinking individuals. So fuck office work, remote work is the winnnerrr ( I work remote and love it ahah)
@@KingSB187Good luck, For me i need some advice.. i learned how to code as a frontend developer and builded portfolio + 2-3 React & Nextjs 13 Tailwind css Projects web application, im really confused about my next step.. apply to an internship for experience.. or starting Freelancing can you give me your instagram for talking in details i really love taking advice from experienced people❤️

It definitely isn’t the only way in life! Do what you feel
Is right!

I bet you most of these you tube personalities are living off of a UA-cam check and don’t even code anymore
jealous much?

Just they are not in a position to give advice

Great! Each to their own
Can you make a video to show us how to build side project that could earn $2000/month?
Good vid. Just a heads up, Thailand is pronounced 'Tai-land'.
interested 20 years as a developer
First step: be influencer
Great video! Traveling shouldn’t be the main reason to be a developer haha

Ironically, I've lived in Bali for 18 years and I want & need to learn to code so I can move back to England.

So big scum. How do you learn system/software architecture
